so, i mean, the lies, the misdirections, the intimidation, you know, it's time for all of us in elected office, might want to pick up a copy of john kennedy's profiles in courage and do what is right. if you do the right thing, everything else usually works out. >> i have an interview coming up with two young women who wrote a piece in which they said they wanted the rights of the ar-15 weapon at home because they feared they would be attacked and they wanted a gun that would guarantee they would murder or would kill their attacker. how do you respond to that particular argument, which is they believe under their second amendment right they should be allowed an ar-15? >> i will tell you, if you talk to professionals, hunters and certainly sports men, they'll tell you that's not the gun to use. a rifle is more accurate. it's certainly easier for a woman to be able to do that. so again, there are these myths and the advertisement that goes out on this. it's totally wrong. it truly is wrong, but listen, there are a lot of good nra members out there. a lot of times we're dealing with the fa

when you look at the democrats up for re-election in the senate, many are from southern states, pro-gun states. there's very little common ground when you're dealing with the right in the constitution. >> this is the problem here when you put politics in it, you have too many people worried about getting re-elected as opposed to worrying about the 10,000-plus folks killed every year when it comes to gun violence. they should put lives ahead of their jobs. >> let me share another quote. "time" magazine/orc poll shows that 56% support a ban on semiautomatic weapons. that is down from 62% in december. if a poll was taken right now, what do you think -- what do you think that would be? >> oh, you know, i would be very interested to see it because of how you shape it. it's fascinating. we did a thing from our radio show, talking to people and showing pictures. they said, yeah, ban that gun. it was a shotgun, it just had a pistol grip. people didn't understand. the problem with the assault weapons ban has always been it's a spooky looking gun ban. some -- for example, the ar-15 -- >> they wer
